Commission

Your commission on partner bookings, for everything or for a country, property type, partner or listing.

What this page is for

Set what you earn on each partner booking. You can have one rate for everything and different rates for some countries, property types, partners or single listings.

Who can use it

Set marketplace commission (by default Admin and Finance).

How to

  1. Under Add or change a rate, choose what it applies to, and which one (a country code such as ES, a property type, a partner or a listing).
  2. Type the rate in percent and choose what it is taken on, then select Save. Saving a rate for the same thing again replaces it.
  3. Use Turn off to pause a rate, or remove it.
